Definition: The word 'av_ebm_aggregate.conf' refers to a configuration file that is part of an Avro schema, a format for storing structured data in binary format.
In the context of Avro (an open standard for exchanging structured data over network protocols), this file defines the structure and behavior of the data. For example:
```
type Person {
name: string
age: int64
}
type Book {
title: string
author: string
isbn: string
authors: List
}
type Contact {
email: string
phone: string
address: string
notes: List
}
```
This file is a schema that defines what each element of the Avro data type can have. It's used to create a binary format that stores structured data in an efficient manner, like JSON or XML, while maintaining its original properties and relationships.
Definition:
- 'av_ebm_aggregate.conf': This is a configuration file for defining the Avro schema and its structure.
- The key 'Person' represents each element of a person's information (name, age) in Avro.
- The key 'Book' represents a book with titles, authors, ISBNs, and authors as additional properties.
- The key 'Contact' represents a contact, including their email, phone number, address, notes.
- 'type Person': This is a type for the `Person` element in the Avro schema, specifying what each property can contain.
- It's an example of how Avro defines data types and structure, like in JSON or XML.
- 'type Book': This represents a book with additional properties related to its contents (title, author, ISBN) that are not part of `Person`.
- It is used when defining the format for storing structured data in binary format.
- The key 'Book' shows the Avro schema defines how this type can be defined and stored.
- 'type Contact': This represents a contact with additional properties related to its relationship with other individuals, such as their email and phone number.
- It is used when defining the behavior of the Avro data types in binary format, like in JSON or XML.
- The key 'Contact' shows the Avro schema defines how this type can be defined and stored.
